In the office, Ivan took out a map and placed it on Tang Long's desk, marking the location of the plot of land to be auctioned this time. This location can be called the center of the center, and ten years later, Hong Kong will be auctioned.
The only plot of land that was photographed.
Hong Kong has long been out of land. This time, this land was demolished from a slum area. It covers a total area of 10,000 square meters and has a construction area of 240,000 square meters. Among them, the commercial and residential areas are 120,000 square meters each. The starting price is
400 million, and the floor price is 20,000 square meters.
Of course, no one would be stupid enough to think that they could get this land at the lowest price. According to Ivan, there were no less than 200 companies that signed up to participate in the auction.
"Tell me what you think!" Tang Long looked at the land. He was also very interested, but he was afraid that the land would fetch a sky-high price.
"Not only the three major families, but also many real estate companies from the mainland, as well as powerful real estate companies from Taiwan and Macau have also come. This piece of land is a treasure, unique. There is no store like this in this village!" Ivan
I looked at this piece of land very excitedly.
"What do you think the final price will be?" Tang Long was about to estimate his own strength. The competition this time was fierce. He wanted to buy it, but for such a large land, he had to be cautious.
"I don't know, the United States has quantitative easing, the world is full of hot money, and the real estate industry in the mainland is booming. These companies have come with sufficient funds. The premium for this land must be doubled or even tripled!"
Huh! Tang Long let out a sigh of relief. If the premium was twice that, then it would be more than 1.4 billion, and his own net worth would almost match it. This is really terrible.
"We currently have no office building, and we have no influence in Hong Kong. To be honest, we really need this land. Even if we end up losing one to two billion, I think you should get this land!" Yi
Wan suggested.
Tang Long pondered deeply. If the price was around 10 billion, he might really get it. But if it exceeded 10 billion, then he would have to consider it. Not to mention the three major families, even those real estate companies from the mainland.
Strong enemy.
"There are still two hours until the bidding. You go and pay the deposit first. Even if we don't bid, just like you said, we will go in and take a look!" Tang Long snapped his fingers and said suddenly.
"Hey, it's been done a long time ago. This is our admission ticket. Our license number is No. 155!" Ivan took out the admission ticket from his pocket and put it on the table with a smile.
"Good guy!" Tang Long smiled at Ivan, this old guy is really a treasure.
The two of them tidied up, ate some fast food upstairs, and then drove to the Hong Kong Government Building. The bidding location this time was the Hong Kong Government's conference hall.
When they arrived at the outskirts of the Hong Kong Government, there were already many reporters waiting there. The people who came to participate in the bidding this time were all super predators. The atmosphere was no less than that of the Hong Kong Film Awards. When Tang Long got off the Bentley,
, countless flash lights lit up, Tang Long quickly covered his eyes, he really couldn't adapt.
"Who...who is this person?" A reporter nearby was secretly asking. He couldn't take a photo because he didn't know who it was. How would he organize it when he got home? However, the reporters who were asked frowned and shook their heads.
"Perhaps they are entrepreneurs from the Mainland. Many powerful real estate companies from the Mainland have come to this auction. This one must be one of them. He came in a Bentley. It is definitely not simple. He is so young. The comparison between people is very annoying.
!”
"Oh, you are not born well. You can tell at a glance that you are a second-generation rich man, or even a second-generation official!"
"Stop talking and continue taking pictures!"
They really guessed it, Tang Long really came from the mainland, but they guessed the beginning but not the end.
Tang Long ignored these reporters, but walked quickly to the auction hall with Ivan. When they arrived at the door, they handed in their admission tickets and exchanged them for the auction number plate. After being inspected by full-body security checks, they entered the venue.
They thought they had arrived quite early, but as soon as they entered, they found that the entire venue was already full of people. Judging from the situation, one thousand seats were almost full, so they quickly found two seats next to each other and sat down.
"Aren't there only more than 200 companies? How come there are so many people?" Tang Long was puzzled.
“A maximum of five people can come in to a business!”
Tang Long nodded. He looked around, but he didn't see the three old men.
"Don, what are you looking for?"
"Where are the people from the three major families? Why don't you see the three old men?"
"The three of them have retreated behind the scenes. Although they are still in power, they basically do not show up. Bidding like this will definitely bring in immediate family members. Then, look, isn't that Zhou Zhengtai of the Zhou family?"
Following the direction of Ivan's finger, a middle-aged man in the front row was talking about something with a few people next to him. Ivan recognized the president of the Zhou Group, who often appeared on TV.
"By the way, right there, Li Yaoyang, Tang Renyi, and the two people talking to Zhou Zhengtai!" Ivan continued to explain.
"Then can they represent the three major families?" Tang Long asked doubtfully.
"They all keep in touch with the outside world and will bid for a while. If the upper limit given to them is exceeded, they will ask for instructions. If they want to continue bidding, they will be given a new upper limit. If they don't bid, they can only sit back and watch the fun.
!”
"Understood!" Tang Long nodded.
Ivan was taking out a calculator, pen and notebook from his bag. The two stopped talking and waited for the bidding to begin.
Half an hour later, the door of the bidding room was closed, which meant that the bidding time had arrived, and the bidding companies had also arrived. If it was not there, the bidding opportunity would be lost. The Hong Kong government waits for no one, of course.
No one will be late.
"Dear guests, welcome to our auction site. I believe you all have learned about the land parcel that was auctioned today. This land parcel is the first commercial and residential land parcel to be auctioned in Hong Kong in ten years...
"What the host introduced is also information that everyone knows.
"Then I announce the start of the bidding. The starting price is 4.8 billion, and the price will be increased by 10 million each time!" As the host hammered down, the bidding began.
"Number 36!" Number 36 raised the card first.
"No. 100, increase price by 4.8 billion!" shouted a middle-aged man holding a sign with No. 100!
Wow! There was a commotion in the whole venue. Needless to say, the eyes of those in front of the TV must have almost fallen out. Even everyone present was booing. The host was also shocked, because everyone who came in was
After strict review, it was impossible to shout randomly.
Tang Long's eyes widened, his eyebrows raised, and he looked at Ivan with his mouth wide open. Ivan's facial muscles twitched slightly.
"madman!"
"Mainland boy! It must be mainland boy!"
"Fucking nouveau riche, treating money as money is not money!"
Many people cursed in a low voice and put away their cards one after another. Damn it, you don't play like this. This time the cards were doubled before the cards were even raised. This is simply crazy.
